I have mixed feelings about Morland coming back. On one hand, yay John Noble. On the other, evil mastermind plus finding out your brother is dead seems like a lot to deal with.

I was puttering while watching this episode, so maybe I missed it, but what was the point of bringing up Mycroft? It felt weirdly abrupt, like they tried to raise tension but then broke it before it had a chance to develop.

Speaking of weirdly abrupt, I guess my petition to get rid of the serial killer guy worked, and we'll never hear about him again. Phew.

I mean, I guess they made the connection because of the parallel to Alfredo's relationship with his brother, but I agree that it seemed to come out of nowhere. More to the point, it felt kind of weird to bring Mycroft up like that when we haven't heard from him in several seasons, only to immediately kill him off screen.
